I haven't heard that bromide since May, when it was hinted that the mask-only rules would be dropped as the virus would be "burned out" by summer. (cough)
Nevada and Arizona have 110+ temps but the mask ban is still on.
I have a neighbor, next little town over, that is disabled in several ways, sleep equipment etc
Plus gets heatstroke in way hot weather
She pulls ice packs and froz veggies from the freezer to keep her from stroking out when it's too hot and elec is off, so no air conditioning.
